1. They'd likely bring it out to other platforms like the 3DS too that have some semblance of relevance in the US.

2. If you're hoping for this to go to PS3 or something, well, SCEA has a giant stick up its ass about PSP games alone heading to PS3.

3. This is looking to be similar to the Bayonetta 2 situation, where we will have to be thankful to just see it come here at all.

It's actually a reason I'd like to see Nintendo gain more of a foothold with these games next gen, because they clearly don't have the same reservations (for better or worse?) about letting 3DS games come alone to the Wii U. Then again they kinda slapped online onto Monster Hunter, that helps a lot.

Apparently the director of Type-0 and Crisis Core wants to make a game for the Vita. If anything I'd be happy if he were to "learn the new hardware" by porting Type-0 to it first and localizing it!Even so, regardless of a port or not, it may be a good sign of things to come.

Well, there is no Crisis Core on PSN, but if you have a PSP, you can buy a physical copy. Phantasy Star Portable 2; physical PSP only.

I think Sony is genius, but I am not happy with them. There is some nasty shit you can do with your Vita and the PSM SDK (rectified by the $100 price tag in November) but I still don't buy their reasoning for not having Phantasy portable 2 available on PSN.

I think they think that I'll buy PSO2 on Vita if I don't bust my nut all up in PSP2, and will end up paying more child support to them-- sorry

They want to sell new games, and probably figured out our buying habits.

1. What on earth makes you think that was Sony's decision and not, say, Sega's?

That harsh reality was reenforced at Tokyo Game Show, where several sources in and outside of Square Enix confirmed the continued non-existence of the game's localization. According to 1UP's Jeremy Parish, "no less than four people I talked to at TGS made it very clear that the English version of Type-0 is moribund, at least in its current form."

All of this despite various reports that have pointed toward some sort of localization or another."

"Perhaps the only good news to come out of this debacle is a separate confirmation that Final Fantasy X HD, which was revealed last year for PS3 and PS Vita, is still in development. It may be slow in coming "for some reasons" that were not specified."

"The one year anniversary of Final Fantasy Type-0 has brought with it a new fan movement. The goal of this initiative is to change Square Enix's position on bringing the title to the west. But it's much more than that.

Operation Suzaku is not just a petition. The group behind it plans on even more action, with details to be shared at a later date. More importantly, their focus is *only* on Final Fantasy Type-0."

This is a major pipe-dream in my opinion... But whatever, let a man dream... I'll sign for what its worth...

They can use an editor or something to fix the typo-laden news update though.... Sounds as though it was written by high school student failing english class.... I by NO means am an excellent typist.... My wording sucks at times, I know it.... but I'm also not trying to be taken seriously enough to attract the attention of one of the largest names in the gaming industry, in effort to see a localization on platform that has less "to be released" titles left to its life than I have fingers to count them.

I am not trying to be a "debbie downer" here folks but does anyone else view this as too little too late?....

Will FF Type-0 be localized for North America and Europe? If so, when?

Hajime Tabata: Due to market reasons, we are taking a clean slate in terms of our plans. We feel strongly about bringing this title to the fans in North America and Europe, so if an opportunity arises that can become a conclusive factor, we are prepared to go into consideration right away.

Translation: "When we do the next-gen remake 5 years down the line." Seriously, I think we missed the boat. It's FFV all over again.
